Ride Quality

Does anybody have any ideas how to make a Metric Ton MJ ride better without putting 2000 lbs in the bed?

 

Any help/hints are appreciated

Yes. OME coils up front, and OME shocks all around. I ran this setup for years with MT rear leafs and a 3" lift and it was perfect. When one of the OME rear shocks bit the dust after five years, and the rear OME shocks were discontinued, I switched to Bilsteins. I'm missing the OME shocks.

Is there an OME shock listed for the ZJ? I believe the ZJ rear shocks are longer than the XJ and might be right for an MJ at stock height.

You are correct. The OME N40L ZJ shock did fit the rear of an MJ perfectly but they were discontinued. I don't know if OME even makes a shock that can be used for the MJ rears now. No problem on the fronts.

Little bit off topic but applicable. If I want to get new shocks after a lift what is the best way to measure them. I am thinking that the overall length is stud to stud. Then for the compressed measure from bump stop to where is contacts, subtract that from overall and there you have it. Does that sound correct?
